Some 90,000 shares of the capital stock of | thc Tuolumne County Light and Power | Coripany were sold yesterday by Sherift Lackmann in front of the City Hall. One lot represented the interest of J.

The trial of the sult of the Pennsyl- vania Consolidated Mining Company against the Grass Valley Exploration Company was resumed before Judge Mor- row without a jury yesterday. The whole day was taken up with the direct and cross examination of John Willlams, ‘2 miner from the Pennsyl- vania’s diggings. His direct examination by Curtis H. Lindley led him down the shaft of the Exploration Company’s quartz mine and set him burrowing after the ledges, velns and ore bodies tapped by that shaft, directly and indirectly, by means of drifts, stopes, inclines and other things. He was then sent burrowing at different depths until he had traced the gold bearing deposits to the original apex within the surface boundaries of the Pennsylvania mine. Some of the ore bodles were like aneur- isms on a human vein, of irregular and unsymmekrical shapes,” often resembling potatoes, flapjacks, onion omelets and lin- seed poultices as shown on the papier mache model and explained by the witness. Through all these the witness worked in his testimony like a human mole, often connecting one body with an- other by stringers or leaders of ore at Jeast half an inch thick, so that when Mr, Lindley pulled him to the surface he emerged triumphantly ‘at the Pennsyl- vania apex. Then Mr. Moore of the Grass Valley people took him in hand and set him bur- rowing again with the object of getting the witness lost and confused under ground and burying him there,-but Willlams ap- eared to be well acquainted with what | e was talking about, and even John | Garber did not succeed in throwing dirt into his eyes. Another miner or two will be sent down the shaft of the Exploration Company's mine to-day. Suits and Overcoats for Men.

Annual Memorial Exercises of George H. Thomas Post, Grand Army. ° Shdi e Annual memorial services were - held H. Thomas Post, Grand Army of the Re- public. In the decoration of the stage palm lililes and evergreens were freely used and appropriately placed. Flagh, corps badges and stands of muskets gave martial color to the surroumndings. The ritual of the Grand Army was strictly observed in the ceremony. Twenty-five boys from the choir of St. Luke's Church under the leadership of Wallace I. Sabin assisted in the eéxercises. . The spacious hall was well filled when Post Commander A. D. Cutler rapped for attention. The anthem, “Radiant Morn,” was sung by the choir. When the colors were brought to the platform the choir and audience sang the ‘“‘Star Spangled Banner.” Adjutant John H. Roberts read & brief record of each of the following named comrades on roll of the dead: Robert Eckler, W. H. Smith, R. P. Thomas, John Lynch, A. E. Magil, John A. Jackso; W. T. Y. Schenck, George J. Hood, N. B. Brown, D. C. Smith, E. E. Ewing, C. B. Wag 0. T. Lemen, Benjamin ner, Job Sternbers, Colilns Jr., George D. Flack, J. A. McArthur, W. B. Benchley. Reading from the G. A. R. ritual; an- them, “What Are These?’; hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee” scripture reading; prayer; and anthem, “Blest Are the Departed,” preceded the memorial ad- dress. Strong in Bonds of Friendship. The address, delivered by General N. P. Chipman, was attentively listened to by the audience. In the course of his re- marks General Chipman said: 1 do not think it is overstating’ the fact when I declare that the sentiment of comradeship among the union veterans of the Civil War is stronger than any other bond of friendship known to the soclal relations of men, and among the' numerous fraternal organizations in this country 1 know of none where so sacred a feeling of brotherhood exlsts as in the Grand Army of the Republic. * ¢ * It is the consciousness that the Grand Army of the Republic had its origin in a voluntary service on the fleld of battle, given to our Government when its very existence and the preservation of constitutional liberty were the stake for which we fought, that our comrade- ship is so dear to us and that the simple badge We wear means so much to us. Let no one marvel then that we honor the memory of the dead and cherish the companionship of the liv- ng. My friends, It is difficult to realize how rapidly the survivors of the Civil War_ are passing away from these earthly scenes. It is easy to fix the day not far distant when the last remaining veteran of the Union army will have been called to join his comrades in the realms of eternal lite. The muster roll of the Grand Army in the year 1590 showed a mem- bership of 400,489. The roll at the close of the year 1900 showed 276,662, In a decade 123,827 had ceased to answer rollcall. Thirty per cent of our number died in a brief ten years. There is something mournfuily pathetic in the thought that a splendid organization like the Grand Army of the Republic, with such an_ illustrious history, should have so brief an existence: that post after post must surrender its charter; that department after department must close its headquarters; that the occa- sion for a National Encampment must soon pass away, and that members of the Grand Army will be found only in small groups scat- tered over this broad land until finally the na- tion will search out the small remaining band— the last remnant of that Grand Army that saved the Union—and will honor them as never men have been honored, and will tenderly guard them until the Great Reaver shall have summoned them to join their comrades ‘‘in that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns.’” Pleasing Memory of Lincoln. It is one of the pleasing memories that come to me of the historic day when Abraham Lin- coln journeyed to Gettysburg to dedicate the first National Cemetery to the dead of the Unlon army. I had the Inexpressible happiness to stand by his side as he spoke the immortal words the recital of which Is now made a part of our ritualistic ceremony on Memorial day. I see him now as he stood with bared head looking out upon that great battlefleld appar- ently hesitating to speak in such presence. The struggle with rebellion was at its height, a great battle had there been fought and won by the loyal army of the Union, but peace had not vet come; nor was ultimate success of the Union army an assured fact. All the contend- ing emotions of-his soul, inspired by the awful responsibility which rested on him as the Presi- dent of a great republic and the commander-in- chief of its army and navy, seemed to be de- picted on his noble countenance. After a sweeping look over the cemetery and a mo- ‘ment’s pause in hesitation he turned his care- furrowed face toward the vast throng around him and spoke as though in the presence of the throne of God. Confronted by Grave Problems. In closing, General Chipman spoke of the responsibilities devolving upon com- rades. He sald: The Grand Army of the Republic, as one of the strong, conservative forces of our country, must never lay down its weapons of warfare for good government and good citizenship. The times are not propitious for the indulgence of apathy and indifference. Questions of profound importance—social, economic and Governmental are pressing with tremendous force upon our Dpeople. * * * New problems of government of profound import confront us; the justand proper regulation of the relations of labor and capital is a problem we must meet and solve; the un- restrained and unregulated aggregation of cor- porate power must not be permitted to Invade and absorb governmental functions; in our struggle for commercial supremacy we must not Jose sight of the fundamental principles of gov- ernment which have made us strong and pow- erful as a nation while preserving to the citizen his individual liberty and right of protection in person and property. After the address the choir and audi~ ence sang the hymn ‘“America.” The pro- gramme of memorial exercises was pree pared by a committee consisting of Jo- seph L. {Fharp, ‘William E, Lutz and Hugh M. Burke. Among the post department command- ers present was Comrade Ed Carlson, a veteran, who received a cordial greeting from the old-timers.

Fred Olsen, a longshoreman, fell down the hold of the colller Milton yesterday. The distance is more than fifty feet, yet Olsen was alive and conscious when found and the first thing he asked for was a glass of beer. At the Harbor Hospital Dr. McElroy found that no bones were broken, but that there was possibly in- ternal injuries. Olsen still asked for beer, but the doctor said “no” positively. Still the injured man’s friends managed to smuggle in a bottle and Olsen drank it all. After that Dr. McElroy washed his hands of the case. The new steam schooner G. C. Lindaur was launched at Grays Harbor yesterday. She will carry about 450,000 feet of lumber and was built for Wilson Bros. She will be engined in this city. Arctic Frozen Solid. News received from Dutca Harbor by the Merchants’ Exchange states that eighty-five miles this side of Nushagak the sea was frozen solid. The steam | schooner Despatch left utch Harbor on | April 2 for Nushagak, but could not get | within eighty-five miles of the plna(:*e on | account of the ice. She returned to Dutch Harbor and was still there on April 16. o Death of Captain McLellan. Cable advices received at the Merchants’ Exchange yesterday announced the death of Captain Samuel McLellan of the Brit- ish ship Port Patrick. When the vessel left here on January 5 last the gallant skipper was in perfect health, but when the Port Patrick reached Queenstown yes- terday her flag was at half mast. The hearing was assigned to Judge Con- lan’s court two weeks ago, but was con- tinued from time to time, as Attorney Ferral was engaged in the Superior Courts. Ferral saw Judge Conlan Monday morning ard told him he was readv to roceed, but as the Judge was leaving for is vacation he sald he would assign it to Judge Fritz’s court. Yesterday Ferral was present in Judge Fritz’s court with the defendant and the witnesses, but the Judge said the case was not on his calendar and he could not take it. Ferral saw Assistant District At- torney Weller, and he informed him that Judge Conlan had assigned the case to Judge Mogan's court. He went to Judge Mogan, but was informed that the case ‘was not on his calendar and he had heard nothing about it. So it was passed along. As a last resort Ferral went to J Cabaniss, as he was led to understacd that Cabaniss had been temporarily ap- pointed Presiding Judge by Conlan. Ca- baniss said he was getting tired of hav- ing such matters passed to him all the time, and he thought one of the other Judges should take the case. Finally he promised to look into the matter and said if he could get another stenographer, Howard Vernon having not yet recovered from a serious illness caused by ovar- | work, he might take the case nimself. Ife asked Ferral to appear with the defend- ant and the witnesses this morning and promised that some disposition would then be made of the case. “Isn’t it funny,” sald Ferral as he ieft the court room, “that I have to go and beg Judges to hear a case of murder? Don'} you think it should be the other way?” NEW MEMBERS OF FACULTY OF STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Several Changes Are Made by the Board of Trustees at Their An- nual Meeting.
